Some meetings postponed due to snow

NEWTON — With a nor’easter expected to bring several inches of snow to the area beginning early Thursday morning, several local governing bodies have postponed their meetings.

The Sussex County Board of Chosen Freeholders has postponed its Thursday business meeting to 3 p.m. Friday. While the board normally meets on the second and fourth Wednesday of the month, this week’s meeting was scheduled for 5 p.m. Thursday because of the Lincoln’s Birthday holiday. The meeting will take place in the freeholders meeting room in the county administrative center, 1 Spring St.

The Wantage Township Committee has also postponed its Thursday meeting because of the nor'easter. The new date is 7 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 20.
